Day two of Michigan’s spring practice saw some pretty big news as defensive standout Jabrill Peppers practiced mainly at the SAM linebacker spot. On top of that, the media got their first taste of Don Brown’s interviewing and even saw some real competition take place during practice, including races and plenty of one on one receiver drills.
Check out the day two tweet-cap here:

1-on-1 Jake Butt was blanketed by Jabrill. Butt created separation on a post cut and went high to snag a heater from speight for 20 yards
— Sam Webb (@SamWebb77) March 1, 2016
If Butt is even he is open. Dawson was stride for stride on seam route. Butt created separation with his body, hauled it in, and housed it

Harbaugh praised Zach Gentry for his route running
— Sam Webb (@SamWebb77) March 1, 2016
Bunting just snagged a fastball on skinny post with one hand. took it to the house. Drew raves from his teammates. Nice ball from malzone

Whether that means Peppers is blitzing or there to support the run on the edge, he’s been in the box almost exclusively so far.
